B Tho Belmont Blast Furnace.

The Belmont blast furnace, which has
been cold for a week past, will be lighted
again this afternoon. The cupola men
were busy yesterday charging and that
work will not be completed till some time
this morning. In the time that the fur
nace had been idle number OF important
repairs have been made. Tho bell in the
dome, which has been in badly cracked
and burned condition for Home time past,
was broken and dropped into the charge
yesterday and will be replaced this morn
ing with new one weighing 5000 pounds,
cast by Sweeney & Son, at their foundry,
on the South Side. The bottom Of the
cupola has beon greatly strengthened
by 9.inch brick collar, held in place
by a broad iron band, about
the hearth; in doing this the SPACE at the
base Of the cupola, that Is fllled with wator
when it is in blast, has bsen reduced and
1t is thought that better work will be the
result, as 1t 10 believed that formerly there
was SO much water thetthe hesrth was COOL
ed too much. There VAS time in the his
tory OF this iurnRcs when, takinginto con-
sideration her size, tho amount OF fuel
used and the output, 100 toms a day, her
record WAS ahead OF any other furnace in
the country. OF late she had not been
working satisfactorily, and although she
was blown out and run carefully she did
not do all that it was thought possible for
her to do; and 80 it was decided to give
her q thorough ovsrhauling. Mr.. O. P.
Perrin, the new manager, is bound to make
q good record.

THE NAILERS' WAGES
TO DE ADJUSTED HERE SHORTLY,
W..
At n Conforent
Al n Conference between Representation
ofall ths Factories and the workmen in
Each-Ths Glass situntion-News
from tho Local Manufactures.

There has been good deal OF comment
lately on the dullness Of the nail trade
and hint has been heard once or twice
that the wages paid for cutting nails in
some Western factories arc not uniform
with those which prevail here. The busl.
ness is duller in Pittsburgh than 1t Ia
bere, and as manufacturer expressed II
yesterday, "the Lord knows It is dull
enough here" The most Of this talk has
been quiet and confined to tho men di.
rectly intereated, butt Of 1t has reach.
ed the ears Of the outside world. The
dissatisfaction as to wages has led to a
call for meeting to be held in this city
next week OF the nail manufacturers and
committee Of nailers from each OF the
factories in the district, to adjust wsges
and agree on a scale TO govern the trade
In the coming year. It Is the general be.
lief that an amicable agreement satisfac.
tory to both aides will be arrived at.

Scarcity OF Quails and Squirrels.

'.Game has been plentier this year than for q
decade" remarked a market-house dealer on
Saturday night 'The exceptions" he contin-
ued "have been small game, especially squirrels
and quails. Heretofore we have had no trouble
in securing the quails and squirrels from the
hunters of the surrounding country, but this
year we have had to depend largely on the more
remote counties-mostly those down White
river"
''How do you account for this scarcityY" was
asked.
swell, hardly know. unless, in the case of
quails. it is because the law regulating their
killing is not observed as it should be- The
squirrels, as the country becomes more thickly
settled. are leaving for the States further west.
/ think it would be good thing for the present
Legislature to pass law prohibiting the killing
of auais for Eve years."

VIOLATING THE LAW AGAIN.
Under the New Police Administration the Sa-
Icons Generally Resume Sunday Selling.

The saloons yesterday carried on their bust
ness the same as other days. Ali the places
on Washington street were open and at most
OF them admittance could be gained in the usual
way through the front door. A few of the more
timid saloon-keepers kept their front doors
locked, and passed the thirsty through the side
or rear door. The police offered but little in
reference. One or two conscientious patrolmen
attempted to do their duty, but when they found
they were to receive no encouragement, they al
lowed the violators to go undisturbed. Mccain,
who has high sense of what his duty is, caught
George W. Dipple, who keeps a place
on the corner Of Michigan and
Pine streets, selling early yesterday morning and
escorted him to the station-house. Whether Mr..
Mccain will be dismissed for this performance
of duty remains to be seen. j. w. Fisher, who
has been the subject of much complaint on ac-
count of the character of his place on the lower
end OF Virginia avenue, was arrested by patrol
man Higgins. He was not caught selling any,
thing, and was therefore charged with desecrat-
ing the Sabbath Altogether it was just the
sort of day the saloons admire. and they are
boasting that they are once more on top.

Making a Good beginning.


The train records for the week ending JAM
show that fair volume o. traffic is moving and
inquiry shows that the exhibit would have been
even more favorable but for the general COM
plant that cars scarce The oldest freight
men say that they have never before known
scarcity of cars to prevail long as it has this
siege. Neither IN local nor through business can
ly as is desirable. An examination Of the weekly
statement shows that total of 9,010 cars were
handled last week, against total of IL, 400 In
the week ending Jan1 and against II, 499 the
corresponding week, 1856. However, it will be
noticed that ZIG fewer loaded cars were handled
last week than in the week preceding, while
there were 2, 215 more loaded cars received and
forwarded at this point last week than in the
first week of January, 1856. This statement is
certainly gratifying, as it shows that the i'm
provement in railroad traffic is Of healthy
character. East bound there is a good export
movement, while the shipments of grain to in
terror points of New York and New England are
not heavy as last-month. West bound, the
tonnage is a surprise. The Decline last week
brought West eighty-five more loaded cars than
were forwarded. while the O.. St l.. d T. brought
| in from the East 254 more loaded cars than were
| forwarded. North and south roads continue to
| do good business Shipments of grain and pro-
| visions to Southern markets heavy, and
Eorthward Southern lumber forms an important
| feature in business. Cotton, as we'll. is moving
northward in considerable quantities. Local
| business continues excellent, both in an out
| bound. Live stock, coal and lumber form a
large per cent of the traffic of local character
| handled. Below is given the number of cars re-
| ceived and forwarded at this point in the week
| ending Jan. 8, compared with that of the pre-
| ceding, and the corresponding week of 1856:
